Comment by Ian on December 27, 2013 at 11:08pm: LOL!! maybe! And then I come along and thwart all of their plans... I might be secretly hated, but they dont even know who I am, and I could be known as the lava lamp snatcher! Sheesh, time for me to go to sleep...... lol

Comment by Ian on December 27, 2013 at 10:45pm: Lol! Thats awesome. I always have to scan the whole store, because all of the good lamps I have gotten so far have been nowhere near the lamp section. This century was in the random knick knacks, which I suppose is an acceptable place, the wizzie was on a random shelf in the middle of the store near the xmas section, the Pumpkin was logically placed in with the halloween decor, and one of my midnights was placed in the kitchenware. Go figure. lol I always find the crappy ones in the lamp section. Its weird. I dont even understand... But whatever :) as long as I find the good ones! I never thought to look for dimmers, I will have to start!

Story time!

So my girlfriend and I went into m favorite thrift store, and we were looking around, and found this crappy looking china lava lamp. It was right at the front of the store, on some clear glass shelves. We looked all over the shelves for more, and we didnt see any, so we moved on. After scanning the whole store, we didnt find anything of interest, so we started heading for the main entrance. As we were heading towards the door, I turned around to look at the crappy lava lamp one last time, just on a whim. As i turn around, I see it, just sitting there on the shelf below the crappy lamp!!! This century! I freaked out and ran over and snatched it up, while I left my bewildered girlfriend standing by the door. Probably the most childish lava lamp reaction ever. Then she realized, and we were both wondering how on earth we had not spotted it before. We came to the conclusion that they had come and put it out while we were walking around the store. I was so glad I turned to look at the crappy lamp right before we left, otherwise I would never have seen this. The end. :) Moral of the story: Always Always ALWAYS double-check! And go with your gut feelings. :)
